A reflection on Nothing Left Unsaid
I dropped into the lives of Anderson Cooper and Gloria Vanderbilt Sunday. Cooper's touching tribute to his mother who died on my birthday motivated me to watch the exquisite documentary they did, Nothing Left Unsaid.
This film is a piece of art: through a mosaic of pictures, music, film clips and conversations it shows Gloria as a role model for coping with loss, love, and life.
I met interesting people: Dodo, Wyatt Cooper, and Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney. They helped Gloria find her soul and live it. I saw a woman who did not give up on love despite the worst tragedies imaginable. For all her privilege, nothing compensated for many things, the worst: watching her son jump to his death.
But Gloria went on through her losses and she used art. The film shows Gloria's dream boxes and fantasy paintings..."I had a lot to work through in my life," says the famous designer. We all do and watching this film shows the universality of art and love to heal the wounded and broken soul.
The film also shows a lot of courage!
